I don’t even know what to charge for aligners.


If you’re unsure about pricing… you’ll always undercharge.

I did that for months.

I priced low because I was scared to lose the case.

But that just led to resentment — more work, less profit, no sustainability.

Then I switched to a model that made sense — for me and the patient.

Here’s how I price aligners now:

  • Take your lab fee (let’s say $1,200–$1,800)
  • Multiply it by 3x for your total fee — that builds in profit, chairtime, and refinements
  • Script the value confidently: “This is designed to minimize refinements and get you results faster. If we don't correct this problem now - it will cost you 5x in the future to fix.”

It’s not about being the cheapest.

It’s about being confident, clear, and consistent.

We breakdown pricing and how to frame the value to patients inside our Aligner Blueprint course. If you feel ready to take the first step to more confidence with aligners - check it out.

Most dentists avoid aligners because they’re afraid of refinements, upset patients, or getting stuck on complex cases. I was there too. After getting certified, I sat on the sidelines for months. I told myself I needed to “learn more” before starting. Truth is, you learn faster by doing — with the right support and simple first cases. Remember - you’re moving teeth with plastic over an 8 month period… not doing surgery or drilling straight down into their teeth with a high speed burr. You’re...

I used to wait for patients to ask about aligners. Then I made one change: we started scanning every hygiene patient. It seems small, but it created instant awareness and opened doors for conversations we never had before. We didn’t “sell” — we educated. Patients started asking questions and seeing their own crowding on the scans. If you want to try this: Train your team to scan every hygiene patient by default Show patients their scans right away — let them ask questions Have a simple...

I see it all the time. Docs get excited and jump into tough cases first — severe crowding, major bite changes, or posterior crossbites. Crazy stuff. Why? Because we weren’t taught that there are LEVELS to ortho cases. I did the same. My first few cases took forever and needed tons of refinements. I lost confidence fast. When I started focusing on simple cases — mild crowding, no big bite changes — my confidence (and case acceptance) skyrocketed. If you’re just starting: Stick to mild anterior...
